Abstract (en)

Embodiments of the present invention disclose data feedback methods and related apparatuses. This enables a beamformer to adjust the communication status according to related channel information about a beamformee no matter whether the number of actual active antennas of the beamformee is larger than or equal to the number of columns set by the beamformer in an NDPA message. The data feedback method according to the embodiments of the present invention includes: acquiring, by the beamformee, the number of columns from the NDPA message; detecting the number of active first spatial streams; comparing the number of first spatial streams with the number of columns, and taking the smaller value obtained from the comparison as the number of second spatial streams required for feedback; and feeding back the number of second spatial streams and spatial stream measurement information about the second spatial streams to the beamformer.
